Chapter 257: Death is to save face and suffer sin
Fang Yi didn't want to waste more time on the road (mainly because the wallet was now bulging), so after lunch, he called an online taxi on his mobile phone. Soon the car arrived downstairs, the driver called him, and Fang Yi hurriedly went downstairs.
Fang Yi came to a white Jetta, and he was stunned the moment he opened the door, he didn't expect that the driver of the black car was actually his old acquaintance Wang Deyou.
"How are you?" Fang Yi was surprised.
"Come on, this won't stop the park." Wang Deyou looked nervously at the camera and said.
The Jetta car was on the road, and after driving out of the city, Fang Yi expressed the doubts in his heart.
"Hey! I don't even know what to say, shame on you! Maybe I'm the only one in the city's lawyers' circle. Wang Deyou looked ahead with a look of shame and said.
"You...... No longer a lawyer? Fang Yi hesitated and asked.
Originally, he wanted to ask Wang Deyou if he had made any mistakes and was dismissed, but he felt that with Wang Deyou's personality and style of doing things, he should not.
"Still working as a lawyer! It's just that the firm doesn't have so much business and can't support too many salaried lawyers, so the firm saw that I was professional and reliable, and wanted me to continue to be a salaried lawyer and lay off another female lawyer.
However, I felt that since there was not much business in the firm, we couldn't waste it, and it was not our pursuit to get a dead salary all day long, so I took the initiative to ask to become a commission lawyer.
During this time as a commission lawyer, I have developed some business, actually...... I have a lot of business and I am tired, and I have not been idle in the past few days, and I am busy on all fours. There is no court and no appointment today, so I just have time to go out and walk around, run a sports car by the way, earn some pocket money, relax and relax, and change my brain. Wang Deyou said with a smile.
Wang Deyou is a face-saving person, he doesn't want to say in front of his old acquaintances that he was persuaded to quit by the law firm, because his life is not settled, so he started an online car-hailing car, and he wants to save face and suffer from it, so he is talking about people like Wang Deyou.
"Oh, yes, I don't care about the commission lawyer, I have free time, it's good to have time to run around and earn some pocket money." Fang Yiyan said insincerely.
Lawyers have a lot of business, and when they are busy, shouldn't they go out on vacation or go on a tour? I'm afraid that there is only one person who comes out to do the work, Wang Deyou.
I still earn pocket money, but if I have a lot of business in my hand, will I lack that little pocket money? Lies can't be made up, although Fang Yi didn't believe his words, but he didn't ask much, he didn't tell if he saw through it, he just understood it in his heart, and old acquaintances wanted face even more.
"By the way, how are you doing?" Wang Deyou didn't want to continue the topic just now, and asked.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I've transferred to the city to practice, at the Golden Stone Law Firm." Fang Yi said.
"Goldstone Law Firm! Not bad! That's a big place. How's the business? Wang Deyou was surprised. The three sentences did not leave the bank, and they talked about the business again after a turn.
"The business is okay, I work as a salaried lawyer on the team. During this time, our team is recruiting salaried lawyers, and I would like to recommend you ......, if you are too tired and unhappy to do it yourself, you can consider it! Anyway, congratulations on taking the first step! Fang Yi smiled.
Fang Yi said that he wanted to give Wang Deyou a step, if Wang Deyou's business is not good, it is estimated that it will not take long to find it, in short, the opportunity has been thrown to him, whether he can seize it depends on himself.
"It's good, you're finally in the city, let's get in touch in the future. By the way, are you free at night? I'll pick you up and wash the dust, congratulations on getting out of the county. Wang Deyou said. He regretted a little that he had just said too much.
"Okay, I'll go to the county court to get the verdict, and I guess it's almost time to get off work when I come back, so I won't go back to the office. Let's find a place to have a drink. Fang Yi said with a smile.
When I arrived at the county courthouse, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and after calling the clerk, I waited for nearly half an hour before I saw the clerk appear in the hall on the first floor with Liu Qiaoling's criminal verdict.
After signing the criminal verdict, Fang Yi couldn't wait to turn to the last page, and frowned after seeing the content of the verdict.
Back in the Jetta car, Wang Deyou started the car, and Fang Yi dialed out with his mobile phone.
"Lawyer Fang, is the verdict out?" Liu Qiaoling's voice came from her phone.
"Yes, I just came out of the courthouse and have already received the verdict. The court found that you were not guilty of theft, but that you were guilty of unlawful disposal of seized property, and that the circumstances were serious. You were found guilty of illegally disposing of seized property and sentenced to two years' imprisonment with a suspended sentence of two years and six months. Fang Yi said.
"Huh?!" Liu Qiaoling's surprise came, Fang Yi had already guessed her expression, followed by a clang from the mobile phone, I don't know if someone fell or something else fell.
"Hey, Ms. Liu! Ms. Liu ......" Fang Yi said hurriedly.
"I'm fine, it's the kettle that has fallen." There was a panicked sound on the phone, and after a while, Liu Qiaoling asked, "Lawyer Fang, will I be imprisoned by them?" ”
"No, the court sentenced you to two years in prison, suspended for two years and six months, and you will not be imprisoned. Serving outside of prison. Fang Yi said.
"Oh, that's good, I don't want to go to that place again." Hearing Fang Yi say this, Liu Qiaoling was in a much better mood.
However, it is said that the procuratorate is not satisfied with the verdict and wants to protest the prosecution. Therefore, you may have to go to the second trial in this case. Fang Yi said.
"Ahh I've been sentenced to two years, and the procuratorate is still not satisfied? …… Lawyer Fang, I heard the lawyer mention that the sentence will not be increased on appeal, but the procuratorate is not satisfied, so the court should not change the sentence to a heavier sentence, right? Liu Qiaoling said.
"Ms. Liu, what you said about 'no increase in sentence on appeal' is aimed at the defendant, and the procuratorate's protest is not subject to the restriction of 'no increase in sentence on appeal'." Fang Yi explained.
"Ahh Then do I have a good chance of winning the second instance of this case? Do I want to appeal? Liu Qiaoling asked in a panicked tone.
"I don't think there's a lot of hope for an appeal, but if you want to appeal, I can help you file an appeal." Fang Yi said.
"Oh, how to charge the lawyer's fee for the second trial?" Liu Qiaoling asked.
Fang Yi pondered that he had collected 40,000 yuan in lawyer fees in the first instance, and that the second instance could not exceed the cost of the first trial, so he quoted: "If you don't appeal, you just entrust me to respond to the lawsuit, and the lawyer's fee is 20,000 yuan." If you want to appeal, you will need to add another $10,000. ”
"Or ...... I won't appeal, anyway, it's a suspended sentence, and it's not a big problem to no longer squat in prison. Liu Qiaoling thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, then, after you receive the notice from the court, call me, and let's sign the entrustment procedures and pay the lawyer's fees." Fang Yi said.
Hanging up the phone, Fang Yi let out a sigh.
"What's the matter, the verdict is not satisfactory?" Wang Deyou asked while driving.
